Ian McCulloch the U2 fan:
"Who buys U2 records anyway? It's just music for plumbers and bricklayers. Bono, what a slob. You'd think with all that climbing about he does, he'd look real fit and that. But he's real fat, y'know. Reminds me of a soddin' mountain goat."
"And as for Bono, he needs a colostomy bag for his mouth."

I've never been the biggest Hillary fan, but it's a nice feeling for us gals to see her up there this morning. I've spent my entire legal career surrounded by mostly old, white men, so even a semblance of progress is a nice thing.

There are so many Republicans tripping over the "Trump needs to act more presidential" meme. Not "he needs to not be racist/say racist things", but needs to "act" more presidential. I hope Hillary wipes the floor with him and this entire unprincipled party.

Honestly, I think Bernie's efforts were fruitless once she appeared presumptive.

Its funny. The "bernieorbust" crowd is all up in arms about the AP calling her the presumptive nominee on Monday. But, you're right. I think once New York, PA, MD, CT, etc... Anyone paying attention that wasn't in fantasyland knew that she was the presumptive nominee at that point.
This was reflected in the national polling, where she went from about 3 points ahead of Sanders in April to about 15 points by last week.

I mean it might have been a bit dickish to Sanders to claim her as the nominee, but that's what we do as journalists. We chase stories. So the obvious thing to do is ring the superdelegates and ask how they're voting.

There's a not-insignificant subset of BernieBro twitter users who are going to vote Trump. One said "I firmly believe four years of Trump would be better than eight years of Hillary".

To claim that superdelegates rig the system against the will of the people, to claim that you're above the politics as usual of Washington... and then claim you'll fight on and try to turn the superdelegates to overrule the clear will of the people by every possible measuring stick only proves that Sanders is a hypocrite, that he's no different than anyone else, and a bit of a dick to boot.
